Now read on...
In these worlds, there is rarely an "In the beginning..." or "Once upon a time..." Everything you see is a continuation of an already existing storyline, easily summed up by "Now read on..." The prior stories are not always important, since we focus on what's happening here and now.

Hail and Well Met - Introduction to Rurouni Taikai SaGa

Welcome to Rurouni Taikai SaGa, the brainchild of a diseased mind. In the next week, you will most likely be shocked, disturbed, titillated, offended, and generally adjectived to death. And that's without even reading the overstory.

The focus of this tournament will be a bit of everything, and thus a bit of everything is encouraged. Evil? Go nuts. Humor? Love it. Romance? Hey, whatever floats your boat. But please, try and keep explicit scenes (naughty bits, etc.) or even heavy innuendo to a bare minimum, or nonexistent, if you can swing it. There'll be several minigames along the way, and bundles of prizes at the end.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy what will probably give me quite a headache.

Who Are You Again? - Choosing a Character

The theme of RTSG is All-Reprisals. Any character you've played before in a tournament setting. FFO Survivor, Rurouni Taikai, or SRK Survivor, all are welcome. For those new to the tournaments at this point, or if you really can't think of one you want to reprise, you may choose any character from any video game or anime, keeping in mind the standard limitations. If you are reprising, none of these restrictions (Except the divinity ban) really apply, since you had to deal with practically the same ones upon first sponsoring them.

-Character must have a regular name and at least partially canon-defined personality. No playing Shinra Soldier No. 3 or Depressed Clown. At least the name requirement has been relaxed on occasion, and I'll consider such characters as long as you convince me you can work out a good story with the character. And you, you know, name them.
-No licensed characters. That means, technically, no Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, etc. No sports game characters either. This is technically unfair towards the literal definition of anime, which is merely all animated work, so I will consider licensed cartoon characters that have been in a video game in the same manner as unnamed heroes. However, since Power Rangers is a live-action show for the most part, they're still not allowed. Same for the Terminator, James Bond, or most any other movie that has been made into a video game. But again, talk to me and we'll see what we can work out.
-Divinity Ban. No super god-like characters. Try and keep the power level down to just normal legendary hero levels or below. For those that might wonder, this rule was put into effect after Lucia flooded the Veldt and summoned Zophar to eat the Magical Kingdom of Zeal. Or something like that. This is NOT open to debate.
-If you're picking a new character and in doubt about him/her/it, ask. Chances are it'll be either just fine or completely out of the question. There is a fairly wide gray area, though.

Body-Mass Index - Choosing a Phenotype

The battle system of RTSG revolves around the Phenotype System, which determines how your character will grow throughout the rounds. It is necessary to pick a Phenotype before you will be allowed to participate. You do not need to choose the Phenotype that best matches your character, but you may wish to anyway.

Big 'n Beefy - The Musculotonic
The Musculotonic is... well... muscular. Anyone who relies mainly on their muscles (Or similar analogues, such as servo-motors) or a weapon qualifies as a Musculotonic. They may have a little bit of magical or scientific ability, but ultimately they are physical fighters. Barret Wallace, Cervantes de Leon, and Fox McCloud are all good examples of a Musculotonic. Musculotonics tend to focus more on attacking, and have few healing skills.

Light 'n Flaky - The Cerebrotonic
The Cerebrotonic is one who relies on the power of their minds to see them through. Anyone skilled in magic, technological inventions, or psychic/psionic powers should be a Cerebrotonic. Often they can wield a sword, staff, or gun, but ultimately they rely far more on their mental powers. Lucca Ashtear, Aeris/Aerith Gainsborough, and Pikachu are all valid Cerebrotonics. Cerebrotonics can be attackers or healers, and do equally well with both kinds of ability. However, one thing they specialize in is status effects.

Tastes Great! Less Filling! - The Viscerotonic
The Viscerotonic is a balanced type, tempering mystic power with down-to-earth strength. They know they'll never be quite as good as the party's tank at bashing things, but they can cast magic far better than said tank. Not as good as the mage of the party, but they've got better weapon skills than Mr. Bathrobe. Second-best in all categories is no booby prize. Anyone taking a balanced approach to adventuring life qualifies as a Viscerotonic. Aya Brea, Jason Soe, and Selphie Tilmitt all work well as Viscerotonics. Viscerotonics can use a good deal of the skills of both Musculotonics and Cerebrotonics.

Put the Pointy Thing into the Squishy Things that Scream and Bleed - Combat
Being that this is a tournament and most of you will be playing warriors, wizards, and other combative types, combat will likely play a large role in the rounds. The following are the rules by which combat is represented. These will be explained relentlessly, in case there are any new people in the group.

By the Power of the Moon, I Shall Punish You! - Attacking; The A-Vote
A sword slash, a punch, a gun blast, a mystic ball of flame, even a stick of dynamite shoved down someone's throat. These can all be equated to one thing (Althought the last one is a bit extreme): The A-Vote. If someone is writing poorly, give them a bright and shining A-Vote for their very own. Of course, these are not the only criteria for dealing A-votes. You could A-vote someone who has attacked you, someone you see as a threat to your own advancement, or simply randomly fling some A-votes into the crowd. You may only deal one of your A-votes to a specific person in a round. This simply means you cannot A-vote the same person twice in one round.
Example: "Kuma hits ninja. A-vote to Edge."

Blessing Breeze, Blow in Energy! - Healing; The R-Vote
Healing can take many forms. A Cure spell, a Potion flung to someone in the heat of battle, a swift prayer, a kiss, or even a nifty pep talk. No matter what, though, each heal takes the form of a single R-Vote. Ideally, these would be used on people who you felt have been writing the best and deserve to go on to the next round. But, it often happens that people will R-vote their friends (Whether personal friends or in-character friends) or hold minigames to auction off R-votes, and that's fine too. As with A-votes, you may not give two R-votes to the same person in a round. In addition, You may not use an R-vote on yourself. No matter how good your writing's been.
Example: "Alma sees the great big bear hit the little spindly guy in pajamas and bops the man with her Healing Rod! R-vote to Edge."

Damage? What Damage? - The Healing Cap
In previous tournaments, there have been multiple instances of people making it through rounds with damage totals in the negatives, meaning they received more healing than damage. This is rather unrealistic in light of the RPG-based systems these tourneys are often built around, and some have deemed mass healing a problem. Thus, I am instituting a healing cap. If for any reason your total damage hits a specific number, no other healing will be effective that round until you are damaged again.

Anything You Can Do - The Ability System
There are times when you want to do more than just hurt or heal someone. You may want to get rid of an A-vote someone just cast on you, poison someone, or hurt them so badly they'll likely never recover. These functions can all be done with the ability system.

Abilities are divided into two types: Physical (Skills) and Mental (Magic). The type of character you sponsor determines which type of abilities you are best at. Each ability has a specific cost. Skills must be paid for with Waza Points, or WP. Magic is paid for with Jutsu Points, or JP. A character may use any ability for which he has the correct amount of WP or JP to spend. Each character starts with 5 WP and 5 JP. In addition, A-voting and R-voting publicly gains you more points. Every three A- or R-votes you cast publicly will gain you a number of WP and JP dependant upon your Phenotype.

Musculotonics will gain 3 WP and 1 JP for every three public votes.
Cerebrotonics gain 1 WP and 3 JP for every three public votes,
and Viscerotonics gain 2 of each type of point for every three public votes.

Your WP and JP totals are refreshed at the beginning of each round, and the points you gained by public voting added on. You do not gain WP or JP for using Abilities or Items.

The lists of starting abilities can be found here:

Skills

Magic

To use an ability, simply state which ability you are using, and the target. You may not use the same ability more than once on a single person in a given round, nor may you use direct healing abilities on yourself.
Example: "Edge grows infuriated at the bear's attack and hurls a spoon at the enormous ursine! Using Counter on Kuma."

What Has It Got in Its Pocketses? - Items and Equipment
This tournament introduces items, one-use prizes that have about the same effect as an Ability. You will gain some items through minigames. Additionally, I will be giving out a few items as prizes for exceptional posts. Comedy, action, drama, anything that catches my eye and impresses me could be the key to getting a nifty little item. This means I will be reading nearly every single post you people make. It also means I might possibly be accused of favoritism. Allow me to assure you this shall never be the case. Everyone that makes an exceptional post in a round will receive an item. In this case, exceptional means of surpassing action, comedic, or dramatic content (or even a mixture of all three. I enjoy mixing styles as well as sticking to one.), and longer than a paragraph. If you've made a good post while I'm away/asleep and want me to look at it, PM me on IRC and/or add some large bold color near the top of the post to call my attention to it. Chances are I might be a little rushed to close the round and tally if/when I wake up near the end of a round, so anything you can do to help me notice those nice skillful posts would be helpful to your pockets. Items are the only way you may heal yourself directly. You may also use more than one item of the same type on a single person, however you may only use one item of a specific type (attack/healing/status) on yourself during a round. Unless noted otherwise, you may obtain and hold as many of a specific item as you like. You may also pass, trade, bestow, fork over, dole out, or otherwise give items to other players. These transfers must be public. In addition, any and all Item use must be public.

Equipment is a special class of items that have an effect on the character possessing them. This effect lasts for as long as the character holds the equipment, and ends immediately upon the character giving the equipment away.
No character may hold more than one piece of equipment. If for some reason they obtain more than one, the character must, in their first post of the round or next post in the event of gaining said equipment in the middle of a round, pass one or more pieces of equipment to another character. Equipment may otherwise be given, transferred, traded or thrust upon characters at any point during a round, including after close of voting. These transfers must be public. Certain publicity rules apply to some equipment. See the equipment descriptions for more details.

Items and Equipment

Let Your Powers Combine! - The Multi-tech System
As some of you may know, the PlayStation installments of the SaGa series had the added feature of "Technique Combos", series of attacks that would go off at the same time, dealing insane damage to a foe, or to your party, depending on if the monsters did them. As this tournament is closely based around the SaGa games, I've decided to try the same thing.

To try for a Tech Chain, all you need to do is vote publicly in some way. This system only works with A-votes, R-votes, healing Abilities, and attack Abilities. You may not Counter someone as the start of a Tech Chain, for instance.

Then, if the next person to post states that they are attacking (or healing) the same target and starting a Tech Chain off your action, that attack becomes a Level 2 Tech. Only one Tech Chain may be active at once. If you A-vote 3 people, the person following you may only start a Tech Chain on one of them.

Another person may also attack or heal the same target, stating they are comboing onto the chain of the first two, making it a Level 3 Tech.

This can continue up to a Level 5 Tech. Any further attempts to chain onto a Level 5 Tech are counted as normal actions.

As shown, you may heal with a Tech Chain, but you may not mix attack and healing in a Tech Chain.

TAKE NOTE! If an outside post happens between two posts in a Tech Chain, the chain ends at the last post, and all later attacks meant for that chain count as normal attacks.

It takes five people to create a Level 5 Tech Chain. No more, no less. Five shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be five. Six shalt thou not count, nor either count thou four, excepting that thou then proceed to five. Seven is right out. YOU MAY NOT POST TWICE IN THE SAME TECH CHAIN! Which should go without saying, as you can't attack the same person more than once. This merely means that if YOU post between two posts in a Tech Chain, whether or not you took part in the chain earlier, it ends the chain.

The damage done by a Tech Chain is added on to the normal damage done by the attacks.
------------Base Damage----Bonus Damage
Level 1: Normal damage.
Level 2: Normal damage + half of level 1.
Level 3: Normal damage + half of THE BASE DAMAGE of levels 1+2.
And so on. The damage dealt by the attacks is, of course, added together to determine total damage to the target. Fractions are rounded down.

Example:
"Dias charges forward, dealing a ferocious slash to Sephiroth! 1 A-vote to Sephiroth!" (1.0 damage dealt)
"Lucca adjusts her glasses and flings a bomb directly into the legendary SOLDIER's face! 1 A-vote to Sephiroth, starting Tech Chain off of Dias' A-vote!" (1.5 damage dealt, total 2.5, rounded to 2 in case of premature interruption.)
"Vivi chants softly and unleashes a blast of wind in Sephiroth's direction! 1 A-vote to Sephiroth, adding to Dias and Lucca's Tech Chain!" (2.0 damage dealt, total 4.5, rounded to 4 in case of premature interruption.)
"Mukki leaps onto Sephiroth's back, humping madly! 1 A-vote to Sephiroth, adding to Dias, Lucca, and Vivi's Tech Chain!" (2.5 damage dealt, total 7.0)
"Trogdor burninates Sephiroth! 1 A-vote to Sephiroth, adding to Dias, Lucca, Vivi, and Mukki's Tech Chain!" (3.0 damage dealt, total 10.0)

In the above example, it would work just as well if everyone just said they were adding to Dias' Tech Chain.

It hardly needs to be said, but Tech Chains must be announced publicly. You may not Tech Chain someone via private vote. Anyone that tries will be mocked relentlessly.

Where Do I Stick This Again? - Vagaries of the Systems

Status Effects
Poison: On the next action target performs, target takes 1 damage.
Charm: The next A-vote cast by the target is treated as an R-vote, or vice versa.
Pain: All attacks against target Sponsor do 1 additional damage.
Palsy: Target can no longer use offensive abilities.
Anger: Target may not cast Abilities.

Notes on Storytelling
These are certain guidelines you should follow in your writing. Nothing here should be all that restrictive, but these are here to protect the dignity and in some cases storyline of other players.

- No writing out the gratuitous death scenes of another sponsored character. Think how you would feel if you returned from getting lunch or whatever to find someone had rendered your character into so many bloody chunks. You may maim, disfigure, or otherwise fold, spindle, and mutilate them, although you might have an easier time of it if you obtain their permission first. But THOU SHALT NOT KILL, even if your character has a kill move that it would be out of character for them NOT to use. The most you should do with this is knock them unconscious. If you must kill, slaughter some NPCs or something.
- You are not the baddest *bleep* to come down the pike. This is more for the new people we may have, but a few older folks might get use out of it. No matter how big, bad, and nigh-indestructible your character is in his, her, or its source canon, you are here with people who are, for the most part, just as big, bad, and nigh-indestructible in theirs. Just something to keep in mind.

Voting: Public vs. Private
This has been a bone of contention for as long as I've been involved in these tournaments, and probably even longer. Every tournament that's had private voting has had someone complaining about taking an inordinate amount of damage by it. I am aware of the problems surrounding private voting, and my honor cringes from it. However, private voting is allowed this tournament, except for a few rounds. All private votes should be sent via e-mail to neored13@pobox.mtaonline.net , where they will be sorted by color and weight, shredded, and eaten by goats. Just kidding, heh... Make sure you include "Survivor" "Votes" and the round number in the subject line, and which board member or sponsored character you are somewhere in the e-mail itself. If you include nude pictures in the e-mail, your votes will count double. I am obviously kidding about that.

Anyway, with public voting, you risk incurring the wrath of the people you A-vote, but you gain WP and JP. Private voting leaves you safe and sound in your shell, yet like the precious pearl, a slave of the currents. A minor stigmata applies to just about everyone who private votes, because everyone who only voted publicly knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that you had something to do with that 28 damage they took, even if you really had nothing to do with it. Yet the strategic element of private voting cannot be denied. So, uh, despite my feelings on the subject, I am allowing private voting. Yeah.

Sponsors, Fallen, and Sidekicks
There are three levels of competition available to you.

The Sponsor is a full-fledged competitor, one whose mighty thews glisten with sweat and glory. I'm not sure exactly what glory looks like, but I'm pretty sure it glistens. Sponsors conform to all the voting rules above. They are the only ones who may win, and also the only ones who may be voted off. They have 5 A-votes and 5 R-votes to use each round.

The Sidekick is more an observer. They may partake of the tournament's meaty goodness, but cannot sup of the sweet, sweet gravy of victory. Sidekicks may not take damage nor may they be the targets of A-votes, R-votes, Items, or certain Abilities. If you choose to be a Sidekick at the time of drafting, you will still gain WP and JP as described above, but you will only have 2 A-votes and 2 R-votes to play with.

The Fallen is a piteous sight, wandering the plains of torment whispering to him or herself, "An R-vote, an R-vote... All I needed was another R-vote..." If you are a Sponsor and you are voted out of a round by means of excessive damage, you join the mighty ranks of the Fallen. Fallen may no longer win. In fact, they may no longer take damage, nor may they be the targets of A-votes, R-votes, Items, or certain Abilities. But Fallen may still influence the results. Fallen will still gain WP and JP according to their Phenotype, but their stocks of A-votes and R-votes are lowered to 2 apiece.

Technically, a Sponsor is what you are, a sponsored character is who you're writing as. The two terms will be used interchangeably to mean "sponsored character" in most discussions. In abilities, an ability that can be aimed at "a character" or "a target" is usable on Sidekicks and Fallen, while one that can only target "Sponsors" affects only those characters in the running for the win.

Random Bits About Voting
- When casting Kitchen Sink, Blue Water, or Cobra, please specify whether you are casting the WP or JP version.
- For those that may have missed it, you may not use a specific vote or ability more than once on a given target in a round.
- Also for those that may have missed it, you may not use R-votes or direct healing Abilities on yourself. Don't even try.
- Again, if you missed it, you may heal yourself with Items, but you may only use a single item of a specific type on yourself per round. That means if you already used a Cure on yourself, you may not use a Power Cure as well.
- For those that might not quite understand the growth system: Say you're a Musculotonic. During one round, you publicly use 2 A-votes and 1 R-vote (Or any combination of three votes, really). The next round, your WP is increased by 3 and your JP by 1, and your stocks of WP and JP are restored up to those new points.

Apology About the Text Files
I have no idea why word wrap isn't working on them. Perhaps you should save them locally and refer to them from Notepad.

I'm Running Out of Clever Titles - Important Dates

I am not first.

Wow, this snuck up on me. Wasn't expecting it this soon!

So Dareon - one questionation: I assume Private voting is only a/r votes, not abilities?

O, and vote chaining is PAINFUL.

That said, I shall hereby sponsor Sora, the PKing bitch from the .hack series. He shall be a Viscerotonic.

The only abilities not usable by private vote are those that deal status effects and reactionary ablities. I really should have noted that in the initial post, it's in my notes here.

Ooh, I like the system you've got here, Dare. It's very refreshing to see a list of abilities that can be read in 30 seconds. Razz

Anyway...

Sponsoring Terry Bogard from the video games Fatal Fury and King of Fighters and the tournament Rurouni Taikai 3. Phenotype Musculotonic.

Yeah, definitely... I mean, when I saw that the Ability lists were linked to their own text files, I was expecting a full page or something (sort of like the item/equips list, actually... Wink).

Well... I really wanted to spring Misa or Shayla or somebody here all of a sudden, but most of the goodie-goodie characters I know of, not that many other people do, heh. So, back to a fan (and if you haven't played Mario RPG, you lose :[ ) favorite in Culex, the Dark Knight of Vanda (not FF4). And since like most Square Optional Uberbosses he's good at everything, The Viscerotonic seems most fitting.

Let's get ready to rumble... and stuff.

¬_¬ It's worth noting that those are merely the STARTING abilities, those that can be cast with the initial 5 WP and JP. More will be added to those very text files as more WP and JP are obtained. A modicum of math skill will tell you somewhere close to the upper ceiling on ability points, and there are enough abilities to comfortably fit that number of points.

The item list, however, is complete. I didn't feel like taking that kind of effort every time a new item was handed out.

Plus the text files mean you don't need to keep dropping back here and scrolling up and down in the huge thread.

Hola.

I, LordLocke, will be sponsering Jedah Dohma from Vampire Savior, based off his appearance in Survivor XIII. Yes folks, the backdoor is taking the front door, this time.

Jedah is a Viscerotonic (An oddity among fighting game characters, I'm sure) and is very cranky to boot.

I, Bugenhagen, will be sponsoring Tom Nook from the game Animal Crossing. Nook will be, oddly enough, a Musculotonic.

Took me long enough.

I, Rain, will be sponsoring Drizzt, drow renegade featured in Baldur's Gate:Dark Alliance and an obscure DOS game by the name of Menzoberranzan. I will be a musculotonic-type.

If Dar allows it, I'd like to bring Guenhwyvar along as a fluffy, but it isn't necessary. It'd fit the character a bit better to have her along, though.

I shall be sponsoring Galuf Conker from Diddy Kong Racing, Conker's Pocket Tales, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Rurouni Taikai Tactics, and Rurouni Taikai Sunshine. Quite a resume. He'll be a Musculotonic since he has no time for magic spells.

I, Moogle, will be sponsoring Keitaro Urashima from Love Hina. Keitaro's Phenotype will be Musculotonic, and he will be accompanied by the hot springs turtle, Tama-chan, who is probably capable of more mischief than Keitaro himself.

This is somewhat tentative, but I think I can do it.

I, Kyo, will be making the non-reprisal choice for sponsorship in Akira Kazama from Project Justice: Rival Schools 2. She will be a Viscerotonic.

As promised, I have decided my choice (for now... Confused ):

*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*
*drumroll*


*continued drumroll*


*ceasing of drumroll as gun is leveled to his head*

Karasu (of the Quest Class)!!!


My "surprising" decision comes on the heels of me deciding that to both give into my want to play an actual villian--one that was irredeemable-- and acknowledge, further, the fact that since I haven't done at all that well with characters in the past (read: I've largely sucked or seem to become writer's block custom-made *itch--no, that's not the same *itch as in my name--after Round 5 at most) I don't think that I should try to keep that absurd "promise" of using the same character that I use in this tournament for SXIV. Not that it matters with Karasu anyway, as SXIV is ineligible to him.

Not that it matters, further, as I likely won't be able to participate in this tournament and even more likely event that I might change characters before the tournament if I can (participate that is).

Not that it matters--am the one only tired of using me that at the moment? Looking--as I'm still going to pick Karasu anyway, just in case. I WILL, however, notify Dareon of my inability to participate rather than have Karasu completely be a no-show.

Karasu will be of The Viscerotonic Phenotype. And I will be bringing an unwilling Kuruma as my personal bitch fluffy... Oh right, the no fluffy thing for me.

Kuruma would be a bit overpowered as fluffy anyway. Razz

P.S. Nice idea to institute the Healing Cap, even if it was Procyon's (right?) to begin with.

Nah, the idea of a healing cap predates my arrival here. Actually I've been vehemently opposed to the idea since first hearing about it. :P
